Touhou Project Please...It's literally almost just as old as the Internet itself,1996 The Sheer fact that ZUN developed such franchise (and Popularized the Bullet Hell Genre along the way) all on his own since the PC98 era all the way until now (18 main line games) with no one to talk behind his back on what to do and change and it's considered one of the most widely influential Japanese indie game franchise of all time,No seriously he got an actual Guinness world record of this and yet ZUN treats is a simple hobby because he's not really expecting any profit out of it while also letting his huge community have fun with it as they produce Countless Fan Games,Offical Manga,Phenominal Soundtracks and everything is nothing but pure respect and that deserves a Documentary of its own. It's sad how underrated it is OUTSIDE of Japan...and To think,the franchise is born purely out of an simple idea from a single beer is amazing af and also,the Whole Bullet Hell Genre wouldn't even be a thing if it weren't him as he's one of the progenitors of that Genre.

@scotwilcox1771

C is a programming language that was first developed in the 1980s. It's very bare bones and low level compared to modern languages like C# or JavaScript. C# and JavaScript do a lot of work for you, but include a lot of bells and whistles you may not necessarily need. This is called a "runtime", because it does so much work for you. Your code is embedded in this larger context. C has an extremely minimal runtime that basically just wraps common functions of your operating system. It adds essentially no performance overhead at all, which is why it's called "native". Your code is running directly on your operating system itself. It's very hard to beat the performance of C, just because it does exactly what you tell it to do and nothing else. The trade-off is that you have to build everything yourself from scratch, without the guardrails that come with higher level languages. You have to know what you're doing when it comes to C, and it's really easy to screw up and introduce memory problems or security issues. Because C has been around for over 40 years, every system under the sun has a way to build and run C, which makes porting easy.

​@@seudonimopendiente That confused me too and I'm a programmer. The way he wrote it made it sound like "Native C" was it's own thing. It's just called "C". And to answer your question you can get a lot more performance with C than with C#, however it also introduces other problems most notably memory leaks and more opportunities to make mistakes.

I study ancient Greek literature, and one concept always at the center of debate is that of καλοζ και αγαθοζ, or "beautiful and virtuous". Basically, in ancient Greece, it was common to describe someone virtuous as beautiful, and someone with unpleasant characteristics (such as being of a lower political status, lol) as ugly. So yeah, the gods and heroes were beautiful because thy were gods and heroes, and that was portrayed perfectly in Hades. Also, there is an event where Dyonisus, for a joke, tells Zagreus to convince Orpheus that the two gods are the same, thus providing an explanation on the confusion in literature between the two gods.

​@@seudonimopendiente just a heads up that this video is incorrect and the game is made in C++, not C. Additionally it's built on top of a framework called The Forge, which is a cross-platform toolset that allows developers to deploy games to multiple platforms. This is a _very_ basic explanation, but I'll give it a shot. C is low-level language that gives you direct access to system internals, such as CPU instructions and memory access. Almost all machines and devices you use are running on top of software written in C. It's basically ancient at this point (over 50+ years old) and is the foundation of all software. In the 1980s a newer language called C++ was introduced on top of C with the goal to improve on some of C's limitations without sacrificing its performance and accessibility characteristics. C++ is the primary language used today for a majority of video games.

I've run into Greg Kasavin at various game developer events here in San Francisco a decade or so ago when Transitor was just released. Really cool guy. I also remember talking with him about his time at Gamespot in the early years as a journalist and he was always very knowledgeable about what makes a game good on a granular level. Not surprising he eventually pivoted to working as a game developer. It's hard to explain, but Supergiant games(especially Transitor) really capture the Bay Area/SF vibe. Maybe it's the music or the look of them. Doublefine also has this. Sort of a laid back humorous vibe, but still challenging.

Crosscode just recently finished everything it wanted to do in almost 10 years, and being crowdfunded and supported by fans I'm sure it counts as an indie game!

The thing is diversity doesn't have to be attractive to have its own right. The other thing is, that claiming that diversity cam somehow be the cause for a piece of media being bad, is an false accusation. Discriminatory in itself, because it strives to make diversity seen as something that somehow can be a bad thing. Like when always when a black person does something horrible all black people are like that, but if a white person does the same it's just one white person within a bunch of individuals. And that's the racist thing in claiming: diversity makes things bad. A false causation

Also the soundtrack in this game is INCREDIBLE.

Amazing and outstanding video Whenever you upload a video, it does work as motivation for me to finish my last 2 years of uni and finally start working on my own game

Thank you very much, glad to hear the videos can serve as motivation for you!

If you ever want to dive into some interesting stories, I highly recommend looking into the franchise Panzer Dragoon series, the ones that were made by Team Andromeda. It is such an interesting and depressing story which I feel is why the world that was created by them feels that much more believable. There is also the story of Trials, the motorcycle game and its crazy ARG. Anywho, great work as always.

Always enjoy your videos, can’t wait to see what other games you dive into!

2:07 "Even though the studio has never made a direct sequel to any of their games, it's not something they're opposed to doing; they just don't want to do it unless the time and circumstances are right." THE TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCES ARE RIGHT, GAMERS!!!

What an amazing and informative video! Love this game and love seeing behind the scenes-without it we’d have no product and we can all learn from others. I’m gonna go watch you other videos now 😁

And now Hades 2 is coming!!

i’d love to see a video about tunic! seeing the development process of it would be super cool

9:18 Yo they need to get with Netflix and make an anime. That trailer looks really good, and I could see them getting like 3 seasons out of it.

I would love to see you cover Night in the Woods! Just finished it a few days ago and I love it.

Great video. After this one it's only logical to make one about dead cells since these games are compared so much.

Thank you! Dead Cells is on my list but the next video will be about a different game.

it's hilarious to think Theseus could've been the protagonist of this game

Alright, I've seen some of your documentaries before, but that's it, I'm sold. Subbing now, you're just too good!

Everyone from the studio was invited to talk about what are they passionate about. And they said "What if God of War but make it wholesome?"
